Finally, I’ve finished the first book in my latest series. The series name is “The Justin Spede Novels” and the title of the first novel is “An Unexpected Magician. Here is the blurb:
In an empire where magic has lost its savor, Justin Spede is reviled by his family and tolerated by his father. There is no magic in the family, which means Justin has no power. His life becomes worse when his family dies in an accident and he is passed among family members who don’t want him.
An uncle and aunt from a distant town are called to take him away, and so begins the young teenager’s journey. As he recovers from his traumatic upbringing, Justin learns he has magic, and a host of mysteries confront him as he is pulled into a world of guns and power and forces he barely understands.
And the cover:
I generally don’t have a world where gunpowder exists, but this time I thought it added to the decline of magic in the world. Magic is an inherited trait and the world is losing the magic gene. I’ve also added some political thriller elements to this series. I hope you like it.
To get the story, here is a link to Amazon.

Just finished the Justin Spede lead off of what looks to be a very good series. Looking for the second book in series. No Pressure!!!
Great book, well written. The only disappointment I have is that I bought it so soon after its release. I usually wait a year so there is more of a series available. Now I have to try and remember to keep looking for book 2.
Note: your first volume, downloaded via Kindle, is missing pages 28 through 30. They are blank. Editing, editing. Deleted my copy and tried to download another copy. Same issue. Please fix.
